RPA BPT Revision Course
The Royal Prince Alfred Basic Physician Training Course is an intensive, two-week program designed to support basic physician trainees in their preparation for the Adult Medicine RACP Divisional Written Examination. Our world-class presenters deliver up-to-date, high-yield content tailored to optimise examination preparation.
The course is held annually in-person in the Kerry Packer Education Centre at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, and livestreamed for those attending virtually. All lecture content is subsequently available on-demand to support your ongoing revision.
The program features lectures in all major topic areas, interactive MCQ sessions, high-quality printed course notes (in colour and bound) and culminates in a 100 MCQ, 3-hour trial examination.
Our speakers are highly regarded specialists in their respective fields. The course is co-ordinated by the RPA Basic Physician Training Network Training Team.
